Hi everyone,

I’m seriously thinking about moving from Nextcloud AIO to OwnCloud Infinite Scale (OCIS), and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Here’s why I’m considering the switch:

  1. I need software that’s stable and doesn’t break after every update.
  2. Minimal maintenance is a priority for me.
  3. A solution that works out of the box with minimal setup complexity.
  4. Support for Docker Compose deployment.
  5. Support for S3 storage as the primary storage backend.

What I like about OCIS:

  1. It’s written in Go (which I prefer over PHP).
  2. It doesn’t require a database, simplifying setup and maintenance. (Not sure about it)

However, I’m still hesitant due to:

  1. The limited documentation for OCIS.
  2. Concerns about whether it’s as open-source friendly as Nextcloud.

While I’ve been using Nextcloud Talk, I find it slow and unstable, so I’m planning to transition to XMPP. That said, Nextcloud itself has been challenging to maintain, and I’m looking for something faster and more reliable.

For those who have experience with OCIS, would you recommend switching, or should I stick with Nextcloud despite its issues?

Thanks in advance for your input!

    I am considering switching as well, for similar reasons. What has been holding me back (besides missing time to plan and do the migration) is thst I don’t quite trust ownCloud any more, and due to a lack of documentation, I would want to run it in parallel for some time to get the hang of it before migrating the other users (which adds to the time constraint).

    I’ll most likely deploy using their helm chart – does anyone have any real-world experience with it?
